Make disciples. Baptize. Teach. Remember. Famous last words of Jesus. Why am I here? What is my purpose? Why do we come to church? With everything going on in our world today, maybe we need to ask ourselves these questions again. Are we living in light of those last words of Jesus Christ?

Christianity is always personal, but never individual. We each have our own purpose to fulfill, but God calls us to live together, work together and worship together in community. I cannot wait to worship together, at a distance tomorrow, on Pentecost Sunday. Bring your flame..or be prepared to be ignited!

This Holy Week really brings with it the weight of things gone wrong.

We can't gather in our Sunday best.

Kids can't gather and hunt eggs in the lawn.

The fragrance of Easter lilies in the sanctuary will go unsmelled.

We definitely feel grief over loss.

But maybe the change in venue and the stripping away of the familiar will bring new understanding.

The Silence of Saturday
by Max Lucado

Jesus is silent on Saturday. The women have anointed his body and placed it in Joseph’s tomb. The cadaver of Christ is as mute as the stone which guards it. He spoke much on Friday. He will liberate the slaves of death on Sunday. But on Saturday, Jesus is silent.

So is God. He made himself heard on Friday. He tore the curtains of the temple, opened the graves of the dead, rocked the earth, blocked the sun of the sky, and sacrificed the Son of Heaven. Earth heard much of God on Friday.

Nothing on Saturday. Jesus is silent. God is silent. Saturday is silent.

Easter weekend discussions tend to skip Saturday. Friday and Sunday get the press. The crucifixion and resurrection command our thoughts. But don’t ignore Saturday. You have them, too.

Silent Saturdays. The day between the struggle and the solution; the question and the answer; the offered prayer and the answer thereof.

Saturday’s silence torments us. Is God angry? Did I disappoint him? God knows Jesus is in the tomb, why doesn’t He do something? Or, in your case God knows your career is in the tank, your finances are in the pit, your marriage is in a mess. Why doesn’t He act? What are you supposed to do until He does?

You do what Jesus did. Lie still. Stay silent. Trust God. Jesus died with this conviction: “You will not abandon me to the grave, nor will you let your Holy One see decay” (Acts 2:27 NIV).

Jesus knew God would not leave him alone in the grave. You need to know, God will not leave you alone with your struggles. His silence is not his absence, inactivity is never apathy. Saturdays have their purpose. They let us feel the full force of God’s strength. Had God raised Jesus fifteen minutes after the death of His son, would we have appreciated the act? Were He to solve your problems the second they appear, would you appreciate His strength?

For His reasons, God inserts a Saturday between our Fridays and Sundays. If today is one for you, be patient. As one who endured the silent Saturday wrote: “Be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord” (James 5:7 NKJV).

Today is Saturday, but Sunday is coming!
